Athena Mae

Athena has been binding books for over a decade. Much of her work uses historic binding methods to convey contemporary meaning. Athena’s pieces are often based on traditional binding styles, but incorporate personal content and are constructed in a way that challenges both the artist and the viewer. Books serve to expose us to stories, to teach us, and to develop our sense of the world. In her work, she uses the physical form of the book to give context to her own story.
